My Intel NUC Kit NUC7i3BNK won't play HDR with the nightlies (whereas SMPs builds do) ... do I need the generic or legacy?

I’m just using generic.

I am thinking of getting one of these 12th gen NUCs to replace my Raspberry Pi 4, but must admit that the HDR situation seems a bit more complicated on x86. atoulmin are you able to test HDR and confirm that it is working on this system?

I have HDR working perfect. The only thing that isn’t working is 4k60 HDR content. No big deal for me as that’s only 1-2 titles.

How is the NUC with 2160p50 and 59.94 UHD HDR10 and HLG output now ?

It works great and flawless on latest beta for HDR content at 24p and outputs correct metadata.

However there seems to be a bug at any file that is 4K60 e.g. Gemini Man.

I can live with that at the moment as it’s limited to very few titles.

I disagree, the best device is the Intel NUC. much faster than a RPI4. Just as capable and well supported

Dear smp would it be again possible to make a new build (which includes the updates since your last build from 7.8.22) which will also work on my NUC7 as the build from 7.8. did?
Thank you very much in advance!

Do the current nightlies work for you?

Quote from zehner

just have a look at your kodi-logs and search for "advancedsettings.xml". If you see something like "<delay>175</delay>", then Kodi is configured to delay the audio by 175ms. Since about 10.0.2, libreelec adds this delay as default for Intel, because 10 year old Intel SOCs needed this, but not the newer ones.

If you have a delay in your xml, then copy the advancedsettings.xml from "/usr/share/kodi/system" to "/storage/.kodi/userdata" and edit the delay from "175" to "-175". If you already have this xml in userdata, then merge the content of the system file with your file and change the delay.

Don't forget to reboot and reset the audio delay in kodi, if you have changed it in the player OSD.

Thanks for the tip, that fixed my problem

Thanks for the tip. I’ll look at my file now.

So far so good. However current nightly build the lip sync is way out. Have to set it to ahead by 375ms to be in sync

I have a 10th gen NUC and it plays 4K HDR fine. Although there’s a bug in latest nightly that it won’t play 4k60 in HDR properly.

I wouldn’t get a RPI4 although it plays everything. A little underpowered for my taste.

Also nothing wrong with RGB output.

Have u tried doing a fresh install?

Just received my 12th gen Intel NUC. Can’t wait to try libreelec with it .

Well if anyone’s reading this I fixed my issue. The lumagen can report BT2020 in two ways to the source. Either by stating “BT2020” or “HDR”

If I use SMP build it doesn’t matter what this is set to. If I use the current nightly it needs to be set to “HDR” for it to work properly. That then makes sure libreelec putputs RGB2020. Instead of RGB709

I’ve found that the current nightly builds work fine on my current 10th gen NUC. However the HDR output only outputs rgb 709. Not the RGBHDR (BT2020).

SMP build at the start of this thread works fine. Outputs correctly. It’s interesting, my NUC is connected to a lumagen that converts bt2020 and outputs rec709 using a 3Dlut.

Is there a way to force BT2020 output for HDR?

Reading the Intel website. Looks like 12th gen NUC’s don’t have the LSPCON.

Unless the Intel NUC is using third-party graphics, all the HDMI ports, on Intel NUC Kits and Mini PCs 7th Generation through 11th generation are HDMI 2.0 or greater, and all use a LSPCON chip.

Quote from Da Flex

Very bad. LSPCon chips are a source of trouble.

So how do we avoid them then, are they only in NUC’s? I’d really like to purchase a new Intel machine for a dedicated 4K HDR player.

Is it best to build a small form factor 12th gen Intel machine? Or get a Intel NUC?

I’m not sure if this has been mentioned before. However HDR doesn’t trigger if you play 4K HDR 60hz content on the latest nightly for Intel.

Works fine for 4K HDR 24hz

I have the same issue, I have recently got a 4k OLED TV from LG. When I plug in my NUC the NUC5CPYH it sets itself to 4K resolution and the option to change it is greyed out.

Has anyone had any luck resolving this?

eYSV - Xrandr output

I'm running the latest Millhouse build on my Intel NUC5PPYH. With Chromium everytime i enable hardware acceleration when i play any video in the browser i get audio, but no picture. I've tried various options under "render method" within VAAPI but no luck. It works fine with hardware acceleration disabled but obviously the picture quality suffers. Any ideas?
